April is here. Spring has sprung. Maybe, not quite, but hey! New beginnings all the same! The clocks have gone forward all over the world (where applicable) and we are anticipating more daylight, sunshine and flowers….
A fresh start.
1. Weekly Schedule: Yoga 1 – 3x, Run to plan (weeks 3 – 6), Reformer 1x, Other 1x
Week 1: reformer, spinning, run training
Week 2: yoga, run training, spinning, yoga
Week 3: spinning, capoeira, spinning, reformer, kettlebell training
Week 4: yoga, run training, kettlebell training, cycle commuting
Not enough yoga. Not enough running. But I’ve landed at a happy medium. This is what happens when life / work gets in the way! That’s why I aim high – then when you don’t quite meet all your goals, you’ve still done a good job! I’m happy with what I have done…would have loved to have done more!
I did a 5km run one evening, followed by a spin class! That was before I was confirmed for The London Duathlon but I guess that can count as my first multi-sport training. I got my energy from a coffee. Noted.
2. Attend Park Run 1x (or any other run club)
I pulled a muscle in my neck. In bed. Which spasmed my back! This was the day before I was due to go to run club which couldn’t then happen. Does Barry’s Bootcamp count as a run club?!
3. Full Body Foam Rolling 2x per week
Nope. Rolling (no pun intended!) this one over to April though…
Extras: Confirm a Race, Devise a Yoga Home Practice, Visit Osteopath regarding Knee, Left Hamstring and Neck
- Liveability 5km on Apri 26th confirmed
- London Duathlon on 14th September confirmed
- 2 appointments attended at British School of Osteopathy about knee / hamstring
Focus Forward to April…

![After a full day on the bike yday, a morning yoga class sounded like the perfect recovery 🥰 so I popped over to Kings X for the launch of @bioglan.superfoods newest product - Brain Boost - a mushroom & nootropics blend fortified with lion’s mane, cordyceps and ginseng 💥 We had the lushest 30min yoga class led by @lookcloserhealing followed by a breakfast all made with the various superfood mixes.My fav was the Greens on Toast which was boosted with Supergreen’s powder 👌🏾 FYI, move over avocado, brussel sprouts might be the newest “on toast” contender y’know 😝Got a few samples to take home and test so keep an eye out for my thoughts on those along with some recipes featuring other Bioglan Superfoods products which could do with a bit of a makeover 😅I’m a massive fan of superfoods (esp adaptogens) as they, along with dialling in my nutrition have been what’s helped me feel more like myself again over the course of this year 🙌🏾Are you a superfoods fan?![press invite]#yoga #vinyasayoga #getupandmove #mindfulness #SuperpoweredYou #Superfoods #BioglanSuperfoods #SuperfoodsRecipe #BrainBoost #SuperfoodsBlend #Mushrooms #Nootropics #MentalPerformance #LionsMane #Cordyceps #Ginseng #SuperpoweredYou #VeganBlends #hormonehealth #hormonebalance #hormoneimbalance #hormonalimbalance #fatigue #nutritionist #hormonebalancing](https://www.keepitsimpelle.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
Ahhh, the dreaded rolling. Why don't we foam roll? I find myself walking right by it all the time saying to myself, hmmm maybe later. Then later never happens. I should put it on my April goals list too.
Yes! It's a great goal IMO! …I just booked into a foam rolling class at my gym so that should get the foam (ball) rollin'! lol good luck with your April goals!
